How to pull exchange by day in Tick History V 2.0.

Can someone please post a description of the JSON request to pull back exchange by day files under the new tick history API. In the old version we simply downloaded the exchange by day files from their respective folders (e.g. corporate actions, market data etc) from a single ftp location. In the new system it appears you actually have to make calls to pull back these files. Can you please post an example of what the JSON Request should look like to get back different files such as corporate actions, market data, etc. Also can you refer me to where in the documentation this service is located?

The REST API Reference Tree is the API call reference describing all calls with their input parameters and outputs.

To experiment you can also run VBD calls and display the corresponding HTTP requests and responses using the C# example application, which has example calls under its section "Standard Extractions" (refer to screenshot below). The C# example application installation and usage are described in the Quick Start. Even though it is called the C# example application, as it displays HTTP requests and responses it is useful whatever programming language you use.

Thanks for the response. Any chance you could post a python file with an example call? That would be super helpful. Otherwise, can you simply explain what the JSON Request should look like? I'm running the following request string and getting a 400 response.:

I do not have VBD python script to share but the tutorial REST API Tutorial 2: Retrieving VBD files contains the complete details and requests, and sample responses for the steps that are necessary to retrieve VBD.

In the most basic form, they are:

Get available packages, with PackageIds:

GET https://hosted.datascopeapi.reuters.com/RestApi/v1/StandardExtractions/Packages

Get specific VBD file list by PackageId:

GET https://hosted.datascopeapi.reuters.com/RestApi/v1/StandardExtractions/UserPackageDeliveryGetUserPackageDeliveriesByPackageId(PackageId='0x04f21a8d28f59cb1')

Get specific VBD file:

GET https://hosted.datascopeapi.reuters.com/RestApi/v1/StandardExtractions/UserPackageDeliveries('0x05a61154de8b3016')/$value

So I took a look at the tutorial, which is how I came to form that JSON request in the first place (it's the example they give in the documentation). However, I receive a 400 response from the request string mentioned in the tutorial. If you cannot provide an example in python would you at least be able to provide a sample JSON request string that we should be using? Thanks much!

I have just tested with these two ids, and these two do not come up, for me too. This is a suspected content missing issue, so the best way to investigate this is to open a content-related inquiry via My Account or to call Thomson Reuters Helpdesk to report this is happening and ask to investigate.
